trying to see how long I can go without a 914  Group: Members Posts: 499 Joined: 14-November 13 From: Westchester (Los Angeles) Member No.: 16,644 Region Association: Southern California  |
My searching hasnt gotten me very far. Im sure most of you hate the idea, and thats fine. I am in the research phase and havent done anything yet, but I am close to purchasing the 914 and want to have a solid gameplan prior to purchasing the vehicle.
SO whos done it, I know of a 20v turbo here on the board, but havent seen any others. Thanks -Simon |

As far as a TDI goes it depends in which year. Technically it would never be California legal because you can't swap motors from different manufacturers and there was never a diesel Porsche made, so you're SOL with the 76. Sucks because it would be fun

QUOTE(2mAn @ Dec 17 2013, 05:38 PM)  As far as a TDI goes it depends in which year. Technically it would never be California legal because you can't swap motors from different manufacturers I do think it's legal to have engines sourced from different mfg. Depending on which is newer,, engine or chassis determines the emission/evap equipment you would need, then you would need a referee to sign off on it. You can even do the diesel swap. It's a PITA,, but totally do-able. -Robert |
